Château de Cadenet, located in Vaucluse, dates back to the 11th century, originally built by the first lords of Cadenet. Strategically perched on a plateau overlooking the Durance valley, it played a key role in the region's medieval trade. After the French Revolution, the castle fell into ruin and served as a stone quarry for local residents.

Today, only vestiges remain, but they remain a site of heritage interest. The castle has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1947.
